You just had to add the last bit to court trouble .... I would love to wear it in the right circumstances though... The owners have ripped all the soul out of the club. Soul that only the fans have. This day should be the icing on the cake with such a deal on the sponsorship and a decent kit. We should ALL be looking forward to this season with such excitement but even that is soured by these owners. I really do hope it all works out.
While i take your point. I heard last season and the season before that no one would buy a shirt with that badge on it yet sales were very good. I think sometimes were in the football forum bubble. People who dont bother with all this stuff on here blissfully go about their life. They may not like the Allams at all now after the concessions but will still buy the kit etc.
my first reaction was that I don't like the collar. So I thought on it for a while and no, I still don't like the collar. or the badge.
What are your qualifications to make a claim like that? Club Accountant Marketing manager Merchandise buyer Shop worker
Eyesight. At the games i go to. Also Record breaking sales when the new hated badge was put on the kit in 2014.
I think you'll find that the sales of shirts will be quite high - although I know you don't want to hear that!
I don't think they will be as high as they should be. A lot of people don't like betting companies as sponsors, though that doesn't bother me, and a lot more won't because of the badge.
I think you'll find they're lower than they should be, because the people running our club are ****ing idiots who do really stupid things.
I don't really like it to be honest, good job I'm not buying it anyway, shame as I did like the away shirt but until all this **** has stopped. I won't be buying anything!
In a period when it would be wrong to buy City merchandise , IMO this is our best kit in a very long time - as mentioned the vertical tab on the collar spoils it , but nothing spoils it more than the badge and what the endorsement of buying such a shirt suggests :/ :/
For some reason - possibly because I disagree with some of the anti-Allam rabid rubbish that's posted on here (yes PLT that includes you) - it has been assumed that I am some sort of Allam apologist and totally pro-Allam. How many times can I say it - the Allams are not our best owners and they are certainly not our worst. They saved the club from Administration & the 10 point deduction that would have entailed, then appointed a great manager in Steve Bruce then backed him with transfer funds. As a result we've had a terrific 4 years of ups and downs and ups again! Yes, I thanked them for that - as should we all. Currently, they've introduced a Membership scheme which could be very good - except they've not included concessions. That's wrong in my opinion, but it's far from being anything that will stop me going to watch and support my team or buying the merchandise. The only owner I've ever protested against was David "Bastard" Lloyd who managed to unite all fans against him by locking us out of the ground. That was before the time of many posters on here, so I can sort of understand why they see the Allams as the worst owners we've had, although personally I prefer them to Bartlett! Hopefully, the Allams will appoint another great manager, back him with funds, and a new era will begin.
I can agree with you that in the beginning they where amazing and yes I will always be grateful for what they did for the club. Indeed they should be held in high esteem and go down in Hull City folk law as probably the best owners we have ever had. Then came the downward spiral of continually chipping away at the fans,supporters and the community of Hull with some crazy ideas, I wont list them as we all know the history of it now. In some ways I do admire you but in this No there have been to many incidents and reasons for the bad feelings. So if you have no real problem with all of this then enjoy the coming season fella. I hope to enjoy the season too from afar.
